Croatian term or phrase: izdati
Trebam prevesti Alan Ford citate. Većinom su to igre riječi kod kojih se u hrvatskom uzima jedan glagol sa više značenja. U engleskom ne vidim bolju soluciju od frazalnih glagola, a ponegdje i ne vidim rješenje.

Molim pomoć za rečenicu tipa:

Bolje izdati knjigu nego prijatelja.

Imam više takvih rečenica.

Hvala na pomoći

English translation:preformuliranje
Explanation:
ovdje se treba poigrati na način engleskog jezika, jer sumnjam da će išta doslovno funkcionirati

Recimo:

Better to have book issues than (to) have friend issues.

Asker: znam da treba pronaći neki ekvivalent na engleskom, ali mi to baš ne uspijeva. vaša sugestija nije loša. recimo imam i citat "ako nema kemije, nema fizike". Opet slična stvar: if there's no chemical reaction, then there's no physical attraction?

Notes to answerer
Asker: mislim da je gornja sugestija bolja. ovdje se radi o prodaji, naravmo da sell ide i uz osobu, što nije loše. imam tako i još sličnih: recimo: tko živi pjevajući umire zviždajući, ta više nema samo jedan glagol
